After being slapped with a $20 Million fine for Tweeting he was going to take Tesla private without any backing you would have thought that Musk would stop firing off words on Tweeter at all hours of the day or night.

However, on Friday evening in a thread about criticism and his like ratios on the Twitter platform, the CEO of Tesla Musk claimed that his ill-fated 420 tweet in August was worth the forty million in fines that the regulators levied on him and Tesla in response.

Why? The likes.

This month a Federal Judge approved Elon Musk and Tesla’s settlement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission after it successfully argued that they had made false and misleading statements in regards to going private.  In addition to paying out $40 million in fines, Elon was compelled to step down as the Tesla’s Chairman for at least three years. Tesla was also required to reign in Musk’s communications with investors.

A number of investors that were shorting Tesla’s stock price are now likely to sue Elon Musk for losses incurred due to Musk’s false and misleading statements affecting the Tesla share price.  The cost of this could be considerable

This was mere weeks ago.

Remarkably, Musk later tweeted that he was going to sign “off Twitter for a few days,” which honestly doesn’t seem like such a bad long-term plan either. It might be an idea for Musk to stop taking drugs as well.

Secure your online wallets & be careful with online services

You should be wary of any service designed to store your money online. Many exchanges and online wallets suffered from security breaches in the past and such services generally still do not provide enough insurance and security to be used to store money like a bank. Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended.

Which Cannabis Stocks to Buy?

Here are a few suggestions 1) Canopy Growth Corp. Although Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE:CGC) is possibly the most well-rounded of all Canadian marijuana growers, it's still projected to lose money in the fiscal year 2019 by Wall Street. The reason is that of its need to expand the company's infrastructure in international markets, as well as build up its existing brands and marketing strategy. Canopy Growth also needs to finish the expansion of its 5.6 million square feet of growing space in British Columbia, which is costing a pretty penny. The good news is that Canopy Growth has more than enough capital to complete its expansion in B.C. and internationally. On Aug. 15, Constellation Brands, the producer of the Modelo and Corona beer brands, announced that it'd be taking a $3.8 billion equity stake in Canopy Growth. With well over $4 billion in cash on its balance sheet, Canopy has more than enough capital to beef up its abroad presence. 2) Though you might have e...

Markets just saw the best earnings season since the financial crisis, and nobody cares

Even mildly pessimistic guidance has investors spooked amid macro headwinds Earnings for S&P 500 companies grew by 25.8% in the third quarter, the strongest performance since the third quarter of 2010, when companies benefited from very attractive, recession-era comparable earnings. Nevertheless, from the start of earnings season to the close of trade Friday, the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.22% has fallen 2.7%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.49% 1.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.15% 5.5%. “Third quarter earnings were outstanding both on earnings and revenue growth, the percentage of companies beating expectations, and the magnitude of those beats,” Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors. But the selloff that accompanied these announcements is a testament to the fact that “Wall Street doesn’t care what you’ve done in the past. It’s all about what you’re going to do next quarter,” Arone said. The pairing of r...
